NextCourse Food Recovery

Where do you think the leftover lasagna at Hubbell goes at the end of the day? What about the hundreds of pounds of food from Relays Week and all the catering events that Drake holds?

Previously, all of this food went to waste. Now, Drake University and Sodexo are excited to announce the start of a food recovery program! This campus chapter, Next Course, follows the lead of theFood Recovery Network. With the help of students, Next Course will help relocate food resources to provide nutritious meals to people in need in the Des Moines area.

Wayne Ford, a pioneering Iowa elected official and nonprofit leader who has dedicated his life to improving the lives of Iowa’s diverse population, will donate his historical papers and materials to Drake University.
